Monday night’s performance from the Texas offense wasn’t perfect, but it was a step forward from recent weeks.
Joe Mixon had 109 yards and three touchdowns, including a fourth-quarter score that marked the unit’s first second-half touchdown since Week 6. Mixon had 79 of those yards before contact and CJ Stroud completed a season-high 75 percent of his passes while being pressured less often than usual.
After the 34-10 victory was recorded, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said he challenged the offensive line to “play fast, aggressively” and that he liked the way which they reacted to. Mixon and Stroud also complimented the blocking while right tackle Tytus Howard said the outlet was a building block for the team.
“We implemented it in the passing game and the running game. So that’s something we can build from” said Howard, via DJ Bien-Amie of ESPN.com. “Just take these games and stack them up for the rest of the season, we know what we have to do. It was like our best week of practice all season, so we have to build on that. »
The Cowboys are a good team to find their footing against and the schedule serves the Titans and Jaguars in the two weeks before Houston’s bye, so they have a chance to put together a little winning streak that can help them patch things up the AFC South.
